Vegetation Restoration on Loess Plateau
2013Various measures of soil and water conservation on the Loess Plateau since 1950 have increased vegetation coverage and rapidly reduced sediment load to the Yellow River to the middle Holocene level. The Grain-for-Green project, launched in 1999 as part of National Ecological Environmental Construction Plan, has strengthened afforestation/reforestation ...

Multifunctional Forestry on the Loess Plateau
2017The various services/functions supplied by forests are illustrated according to their relevance to the people’s income, socioeconomic development, and environment safety, with some examples from the dry Loess Plateau in northwest China. The relationships between services of forests and between the service supply and demand are complex, not always ...

Quantifying paleoprecipitation of the Luochuan and Sanmenxia Loess on the Chinese Loess Plateau
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2016Abstract Paleoprecipitation is one of the most important paleoclimatic factors for monsoon studies. Magnetic properties of the Chinese loess/paleosol sequences have been demonstrated to be controlled strongly by the mean annual precipitation (MAP). In this study, temporal variations of MAPs were systematically investigated for the Luochuan (LC) and ...

Microstructural evolution of loess soils from the Loess Plateau of China
CATENA, 2019Abstract A series of laboratory tests were conducted on intact specimens of two loess soils to characterize their collapsibility, shear strength, microstructure and mineralogy. In addition, microstructural observations were performed on the specimens after various mechanical tests (oedometer-collapse tests and triaxial tests).

Palaeoclimatic records of the loess/palaeosol sequences of the Chinese Loess Plateau
Quaternary Science Reviews, 2016Whether during past climate stages or into a progressively warming world, changes in precipitation constitute a key component of climatic change. Quantitative proxies for palaeo-precipitation are relatively rare. The magnetic properties of the windblown loess units and interbedded palaeosols of the famous Chinese Loess Plateau provide key palaeo ...

Types and characteristics of loess landslides at Heifangtai Loess Plateau, China
201020世紀60年代末期,為了安置劉家峽、鹽鍋峽庫區移民,在黑方臺建成了提水灌溉工程,造成地下水位上升,誘發了大量黃土滑坡。作者于2006-04～2007-09先后對黑方臺黃土滑坡進行了野外調查。利用IKONOS影像對黃土滑坡進行了遙感解譯,將其與研究區數字高程模型(DEM)進行疊加再現了滑坡場景。基于以上工作,首先對黑方臺黃土滑坡進行了較為系統的分類,包括黃土泥流、黃土滑動、黃土-泥巖接觸面滑坡、黃土-泥巖順層滑坡和黃土-泥巖切層滑坡。黃土泥流集中發育于野狐狗北部凹地形處;黃土-泥巖滑坡受基巖傾向控制,分布于坡向150°～200°的塬邊地段。農業灌溉補給地下水的增濕、軟化作用是黑方臺黃土滑坡的根本誘發原因。對黑方臺黃土滑坡機制的研究進行了展望。
